Knox County soars over Schuyler, 36-14

EDINA, Mo. – Knox County hosted Schuyler County on senior night and senior Brody Moubry ran the Eagles to a win over the Rams, 36-14.

Moubry had 230 yards on 29 carries and scored two touchdowns. As a team the Eagles ran for 332 yards.

“They didn’t do anything fancy, they just ran the ball up the middle on us all night,” said Schuyler County head coach Nick Wooldrick.

The KC defense also showed up, forcing four sacks on the way to holding SC to just 23 yards of total offense.

The Rams got their points from their special teams. Zach Schimitter returned two kickoffs for touchdowns. Hunter Yearns came up with an interception and Justin Seaton recovered a fumble for the Rams.

“It has been a hard year for us so far. We lost a lot of guys from last year’s team and the young guys up front on both sides of the ball just haven’t played really well. We did make a lot of improvements with our pass defense, but we just have to get better up front,” said Wooldrick.

The Rams are now 1-7 on the season and 1-3 in the TRC. They will look for that improvement when they host Scotland County to close out the regular season.

Things weren’t all well for KC, as senior quarterback and safety Donovan Edwards re-aggravated his hamstring injury and the Knox coaching staff feels that he maybe done for the season. Edwards was honored prior to the game for becoming the all-time leader in career passing touchdowns at Knox County. After the one thrown tonight he now has 23.

KC moved to 3-5 overall and 2-2 in the TRC, and will get to ease into the Cedric Boone era at quarterback as they travel to North Shelby next week.
